    With the rediculous gold prices nowdays, i would say that the shaduo is worth the money. Yes damage sucks, but atleast it can take it. I mostly use my shaduo for TT solo runs, but i hear that ranged pets make good tanks in TT, so i might try that...

    I don't think it is. Resale value isn't there. What it would be good for, Armored Bear is better. It could depend on your play style though.

    its damage is horrible, magic and physical defence is ok and its small so its not hard to see around, but then again this is coming from someone with a herc so i hardly ever use it for anything

    to me, he's just a mediocre tank. a majority of magic mobs inthe future of the game all melee when the pet gets close anyways, people can suffice just fine with a decently invested golem. save your $.

    advice to fledgling archers:
    Going sage is like drunken sex, at first she may look good, but when you wake up the next morning; you'll look at her and go WHAT HAVE I DONE.

    I keep my cub because he looks so cute when he runs! Yes, he's got decent defenses and can tank pretty well if you can't afford a herc. His damage is pretty bad. Unless your careful with your hardest hitting skills and timing them to the FR of your pet, you could end up with agro.

    I like my cub, and I think he was worth every penny. Great tank all around, doesn't really matter what you attack...

    IMHO, a cub is better than a magmite (after using a magmite for my first 50 levels, the cub at level 54 WAS the best purchase I've made ingame).

    I've never had issues with aggro (though, the one I bought had pierce replaced with level 3 bash, and alternating the bash with level 2 flesh ream is great for aggro).

    Also... after playing on another char for a while.... and happening to run an FB with 4 golem'd venos.... a cub is a lot easier on the rest of the squad.

    Oh, and if you're lazy, and don't want a pulling pet, it can substitute.

    I luv the shadou cub it has great def and its small, yes it has poor attack but it is the best pet u can tame (to me) thing is, i dont think its worth 1mil+ i think its worth at least400k. and if you wana keep your mil, you could always go for a golem
